1 Corinthians 6:1-11 - Lawsuits Between Believers

¹ How dare one of you having business with another, go to law under the wicked? And not rather under the saints? ² Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? If the world shall be judged by you: are ye not good enough to judge small trifles? ³ Know ye not how that we shall judge the angels? How much more may we judge things that pertain to the life? ⁴ If ye have judgments of worldly matters, take them which are despised in the congregation, and make them judges. ⁵ This I say to your shame. Is there utterly no wise man among you? What, not one at all? That can judge between brother and brother? ⁶ But one brother goeth to law with another: and that under the unbelievers?

⁷ Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why rather suffer ye not wrong? Why rather suffer ye not yourselves to be robbed? ⁸ Nay, ye yourselves do wrong, and rob: and that the brethren. ⁹ Do ye not remember how that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived. For neither fornicators, neither worshippers of images, neither whoremongers, neither weaklings, neither abusers of themselves with mankind, ¹⁰ neither thieves, neither the covetous, neither drunkards, neither cursed speakers, neither extortioners shall inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And such were ye verily: but ye are washed, ye are sanctified, ye are justified by the name of the Lord Jesus: And by the spirit of our God.
